Pursuing is Better Than Blackmailing

As do many other sons and daughters... sex with their mothers, not necessarily the letter writer's.

This incest feeling was
cultivated in my mind the day when I accidentally caught my mother
getting f---ed by my friend.

That can happen. Was it really an accident?

Though it was a very disturbing scene for
me during the initial days, as time passed by I started loving the
thought of my mom being used by my friend.

Used? I thought sex was supposed to be mutually enjoyable.

Now the question is: in your
opinion is it OK to approach my mom saying that I want to have sex with
her, as she knows that I know about her infidelity with my friend and I still hide it from my dad?

Hmm. Is he sure his father doesn't know about it? The letter writer may be surprised. Let's assume that mom doesn't want dad to know. Blackmail in a situation like this is a no-no.

It is sounding to me like this is not about a love for, or attraction to, his mother so much as jealousy about his friend. Forget blackmail. If this is not about jealousy but rather genuinely wanting her, wanting to play or make love with her, my advice would be to talk with her about her interest in younger men (implied) and what kind of arrangement she has with dad. She may have an interest in the letter writer. Maybe his friend was his surrogate. Then again, she may have no interest in going there with her son, and if that is the case, that needs to be respected, even if she is violating an agreement with her husband (which she may not be.) I've written before with my advice for making an approach.

I know some people get off on blackmail fantasies, including when it comes to consanguineous sex, but it isn't a good idea in real life.

In case I haven't made it clear, I have no problem whatsoever with a grown man (and he is a grown man) and his mother (genetic, adoptive, or step) entering into a consensual sexual relationship.

Here was the advice responding to the letter written by "Scott," who runs the website.

Now, don’t get me wrong: approaching your mom to tell her that you
want to have sex with her is in itself not “wrong”, per se. It might be
weird and it might cause a lot of strain on your mother/son relationship
and could put you in a very difficult situation with her and other
members of your family. But, in its purest sense, telling your mother
that you desire her sexually is not “wrong”. However, you must
understand that her reaction to that statement could go any number of
ways, and I’m not going to lie most of them will not be good for you,
her, or anyone.

Maybe I'm not getting a good cross-section, but I've never once heard of a bad reaction on the part of a mother. Yes, I've heard of mothers saying "no," but they were flattered and continued to be motherly towards their adult children. I've also heard of mothers saying yes. Sometimes they need to think about it a while first. I haven't heard of someone telling their mother they want her and having her get cold, distant, or hostile.

What’s really wrong about what you’re suggesting, Aman, is
that you’re essentially going to blackmail your mother into fucking you.

Agreed.

Let that sink in for a moment: you’re not asking your mother
to f--- you (which is totally out there and bizarre in itself), and
you’re not blackmailing some random person to f--- you (which is
reprehensible and wrong). No: you are going to combine the two and try
and blackmail your mother into having sex with you, which is so beyond
f---ed up and wrong that I don’t even know where to begin.

It's not as rare as Scott seems to think for an adult to make a pass at their mother (or father.)

Looks to me like Scott tries to play both sides of the fence as he continues...

Now, as far as simply asking your mother to have sex, i.e.
by saying: “Mom, this is very difficult to ask and I have no idea how
you will react, but I find myself sexually attracted to you and am
curious to know if the two of us having sex would be something you would
even ever consider?”, that’s OK.

Good. But he doesn't stop there.

It’s weird, it’s f---ed up, it’ll most
likely destroy your relationship with your mother and cause tons of
stress on you, her, and the rest of your family, but if that’s what you really want to ask: go for it.

I wonder much experience Scott has with situations like this?

Ethically it’s not wrong to do so.

Agreed there, at least.

As many relationship experts/therapists/counselors, even ones that support only monogamy, will tell you, catching someone (A) who is in a relationship you know exists with person (B) having sex with someone else (C) doesn't necessarily mean "A" is deceiving "B." There are all kinds of agreements, arrangements, rules, or what have you that people come up with between each other.

"I've never once heard of a bad reaction on the part of the mother." You so sure about that? Don't underestimate just how powerful the incest taboo is for some people.

Heck, I remember getting into an argument with some girls back in uni. They were much more sexually liberated than I was, yet when I suggested that it wasn't wrong for siblings to have sexual relations, they were almost violent in their condemnation of my opinion. Now imagine these girls having sons of their own who approach them.

I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.

If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.

IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.

Full Marriage Equality

About This Blog

I argue for marriage equality. By that I mean that society and all local, state, federal, and international laws, institutions, and programs should recognize any marriage registered by any persons without restrictions on the basis of race, color, creed, ancestry, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.

The global definition of marriage should be as follows: "The uniting of consenting individuals in a witnessed ceremony."

We believe everyone has the right to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any and all consenting adult(s) of their choice, regardless of birth or sexual orientation.

The Fine Print

The focus of this blog is consenting adults. This blog does not advocate anyone engage in activity that is currently illegal in their jurisdiction; it does advocate changing or repealing any law that prevents the freedom of association, love, and full marriage equality for adults. This blog condemns rape, sexual assault, and child molestation, and frowns in the general direction of cheating. This blog exists mainly to evaluate information and direct others to information about current events; it does not provide medical, therapeutic, legal, financial, or cooking advice. This blog links to other sites for informational purposes; it does not necessarily support everything at those links.
